The elastic scattering of positive kaons from /sup 12/C, /sup 3/He, /sup 3/H, and /sup 4/He is calculated with a theoretical momentum space optical potential. The theory includes nuclear spin, nucleon recoil and binding, a Lorentz invariant angle transformation, realistic nuclear form factors for the proton and neutron matter and spin distributions, and a kaon nucleon T matrix with off-shell behavior based on a separable potential model. Differential and total cross sections, polarizations, and isotopic ratios are examined for kaon energies from 0.4 to 1 GeV and compared with results from pion and electron scattering.
